With every new Windows server that comes out, we have come to expect for there to be a whole host of new and exciting features. Certainly the new Windows Server 2016, which has just recently come out, having been released at Microsoft’s Ignite Conference in late September 2016, does not disappoint. Many of these new features, such as Nano Server and the containers, come from Microsoft’s focus on the Cloud, but others, such as the Shielded VMs, place more of a focus on security, which some might say is a very good thing in today’s climate. There are also a host of new networking and storage capacities that build on previous platforms, such as that of 2012.

The whole premise behind the Windows Server 2016 is to assist customers in modernizing on-premise data centres so that workloads can be moved to its Azure public cloud service. The payments with the 2016 Server are slightly different to before in that customers pay per core rather than per processor. This might mean that they end up paying slightly more than originally expected which could be seen as a downside of the new system. There will of course likely be bugs and other issues that will need to be resolved and so IT departments internationally are going to probably wait to see this resolution take place before moving ahead with any large scale purchases. This means that uptake of the software is likely to be somewhat gradual. This said, many are expected to take the leap, albeit perhaps over a three to four year period. Microsoft would of course like the uptake to be somewhat swifter than this.

So, what might you expect to experience if you take it on? What’s new? Here are some of the key features:

Nano Server

The Nano Server is perhaps the headline update and the one that is going to be the most eye-catching to new and existing users who are looking to upgrade. In essence, it is a much scaled down version of the Windows server, with 92% fewer critical bulletins, a 93% small VHD size and 80% fewer reboots required. There is no GUI and no command prompt for this nano server – it is completely headless. It was first developed under the name ‘Tuva’ and is really a ready purpose built, scaled down operating system that can run cloud applications and work as a platform for containers. It will mean that restarting will be a much faster process, something that will likely be very attractive to companies. There will also be fewer updates required which have been known to have been very regular on previous server systems. As the operating system has fewer components it will also mean that security will be enhanced, which can only ever be a good thing.

The Nano Server focuses on a number of key areas. Firstly there are the ‘born in the cloud’ applications, as it gives a huge amount of support for various programming languages such as Python, C#, and Java. It also helps with the Microsoft Cloud infrastructure directly with support for compute clusters running Hyper V and storage clusters running Scale-out file server. There is also support for DNS server and IIS servers.

Hyper-V

The core Hyper-V virtualisation platform which first appeared in the 2008 Server has experienced a number of key improvements in the 2016 server platform. Its functionality is perhaps the most important and useful of these changes. The upgrades will make it a lot easier and quicker to migrate the Hyper-V clusters in the first place to the new platform. Clusters already operating on the 2012 feature platform will continue to feature until everything is upgraded so there won’t be any issues with existing platforms although all users will be encouraged to upgrade before long.

Another key improvement as part of the Hyper-V is that it is now possible to hot-add virtual network adaptors and memory as well as support nested virtualisation. This can now be used for development or test situations.

Container Support

Another key feature of the 2016 server platform is the support that is provided for containers. Containers have been threatening to take over from virtualization as a core technology for a number of years now. The new container support will make it far easier to adopt micro-services architectures. Containers provide a smaller scale alternative to full on virtualisation. Applications can be moved about and packaged far more easily and moved between servers. The technology that runs containers perhaps makes more sense for large data centres than for smaller companies but virtualisation is nonetheless still a useful feature for the improved server.

The Host Guardian Service

This new embedded security service enables shielded virtual machines as well as protecting all of the data embedded within them. It means that even Hyper-V administrators cannot access them. It is also perfectly possible now to create shielded VMs using the Azure Management Pack Portal. BitLocker can be used to encrypt Hyper-V virtual disks.

Storage Services

There have been some key storage service improvements to the 2016 server in an attempt to bring all storage together and reduce costs which are involved in running private clouds. Storage Spaces and Scale Out File Server is carrying on but has been improved. Storage Spaces Direct now allows organisations to put their internal storage in standard servers so that they can easily scale virtualised storage.

Upgrades to the storage now come in a rolling format so that storage clusters can be easily upgraded without downtime. There have also been improvements to the monitoring capacities. The Storage Spaces Direct technology in Windows Server 2016 enables a cluster to access JBOD storage in an external enclosure such as Windows Server 2012 R2 and it can also access SAS and JBOD storage that are inside existing cluster nodes. Storage Spaces Direct allows for data tiering, SSD and HDD disks.

IIS 10

Internet Information Services (IIS) 10 supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, FTPS, SMTP and NNTP. The addition with IIS 10 is that HTTP/2 is now also supported. HTTP/2 is an upgrade in terms of the reworking of how HTTP semantics flow over TCP connections. Users have had to put up with almost two decades of HTTP/1.1 and so this is a very welcome upgrade. It reduces the impact of latency and also reduces the connection load on web servers. It is now possible to deal with multiple requests that are coming in at exactly the same time. It does this by reusing existing connections rather than waiting for new connections to be established. HTTP/2 has also introduced HPACK, which is a compression scheme for HTTP headers which makes the redundancy between requests a much lesser issue. Further, it introduces the concept of ‘push’, whereby the client can cache and reuse info on other pages, but in a way that the server does not reduce the latency benefits of inlining.

Docker Support

Docker is an open-source engine that can be used for managing, running and building containers and so it is a linked but fundamental aspect of the improved container technology. This particular aspect of technology was originally built as part of the Linux capacity but this new Windows server now provides a basis for Docker technology as well. Docker can be used to manage both Hyper V containers and Windows Server technology.

Web Application Proxy

HTTP has now been redirected to HTTPS and client IP addresses have now been propagated to backend applications. HTTP basic is the authorization protocol used by a lot of protocols, including ActiveSync to connect an Exchange Mailbox with anything that is considered a ‘rich client’, such as a smartphone. The new version of Web Application Proxy which is available through the Windows Server 2016 allows for the support of the publication of an application using HTTP basic by allowing the HTTP app to receive a non-claims relying party trust for the application to the Federation Service.

The external URL for apps can now also include a Wildcard which will enable the user to publish multiple apps from just a specific domain – this will massively simplify the process of publishing any apps using SharePoint.

Windows Powershell 5.1

This direct means of PowerShell is already a fantastic automation management tool. However, it has been quite complex to practically use in the past. Your host networking configuration, firewall policies and security policies are all of concern when it comes to running PowerShell remotely against VMs. This new direct PowerShell system means that you can now run any commands you might have in the guest OS of a VM without the need for going through all of the various layers that were previously required. It requires no configuration at all when it connects with the guest VM. All you need are your authentication details for the VM’s guest OS.

Active Directory Federation Services

ADFS principally provides users with the ability to add a single sign on to systems and apps which are located across organizational boundaries. These apps can include Office 365 or any apps on the corporate network. The ADFS in the 2016 Server enables the user the option to sign on without the need for passwords. This could be seen by some as a step backward but in reality, passwords can be lost or hacked and so the need for no password at all could also be said to be a security improvement. There are three key ways that Microsoft have enabled for this to happen.

Firstly, there is the Azure Multi-Factor Authentication capability which has built on the allowances in the 2012 system. An Azure MFA code is all that is required on this basis, eliminating the need for a username or password. This login could be text, voice or OTP based.

Secondly, access could be granted on the basis of device compliance. The device could be registered to have positive credentials. This is possible for both intranet and extranet systems.

Finally, it is possible to provide sign-in facilities through the use of the Microsoft Passport system. Windows 10 introduced Windows Hello and the Microsoft Passport which replaced passwords with things like a fingerprint, facial recognition or a PIN number. Whilst they might not be strict innovations for the 2016 platform they have been carried across and are still perfectly possible so it is worth noting them down here.

Virtual Memory Network Adaptors

Another brilliant new feature of the Windows Server 2016 system is that you can now remove or add virtual memory or any virtual network adaptors at the same time as the virtual system is running. Previously you needed to use dynamic memory to change the maximum and minimum RAM settings. You now have the ability to change the RAM that has been allocated automatically while the virtual memory itself is active. You can also add or remove adaptors whilst the virtual memory is running. This is likely to be very useful indeed for users.

Similarities to Windows 10

Windows Server 2016 has been designed concurrently with Windows 10 and the desktop interface in the new Windows Server is exactly the same as the Windows 10 Anniversary update. This was probably a deliberate move by Microsoft who have been accused of jumping too far astray in the past in terms of design for users. Chief Windows Server architect has said of the 2016 Windows Server LTSB that ‘it will be the same as Windows 10 LTSB, because it really is the same thing’. Things that are lost are Cortana, the Edge browser, apps like Mail and Calendar, and rather strangely, the calculator app, which many people find quite useful. Although it is in essence, incredibly similar.

Conclusions

So, there we have it, the Microsoft Windows Server 2016, offering a vast wave of new innovations for something that is really focused on making the whole system faster, more efficient and therefore more effective. It has been stripped back and a greater amount of enhancement in terms of security and usability has been added. It is also clearly another attempt by Microsoft to move closer towards an enhanced universal Cloud service. As has been mentioned earlier in this article, it is likely that uptake will be fairly slow due to suspected clients having concerns about immediate issues that will need to be ironed out. Nonetheless, this platform appears to be a positive step forward for Microsoft and will enhance the user experience.

]]>You may have heard the term before, especially if you have your own site or blog, but what exactly does “VPS hosting” mean?

Virtual Private Server (VPS) is a regularly-used form of web hosting option available to websites and businesses. The benefits of VPS have made it very popular amongst business owners, as it’s cost effective and can be adapted to suit specific requirements. VPS hosting could be vital for the success of your website, so here’s all you need to know about it.

What is a VPS?

If you don’t know much about website hosting or haven’t had a reason to take an interest in it, then “virtual private server” may sound a lot more complicated than it actually is.

Much like shared hosting, VPS is still a shared environment, but it benefits from a limited amount of users per server (usually between ten and twenty), therefore making it more powerful and efficient.

The amount of RAM and disk space of each server is divided equally between all of its users. The separation in the server means that if another user hits their RAM limit and their site goes down, your site will be unaffected.

The Benefits of VPS

The upgrade to VPS hosting provides a variety of benefits, such as faster performance. For any website, speed and efficiency are vital — especially in regards to business, as a slow site will just put customers off and send them away to your competitor’s fast website.

You then have to consider the level of scalability it offers, which gives you the option to adjust aspects of your server (RAM, CPU, disk space) with ease, without any downtime at all. The freedom to do so means you can adjust the resources of your server depending on the current performance of your site, then cater it to be more efficient where needed.

Because of the scalability aspect of VPS hosting, it means that you will be in contact with your hosting provider on a more regular basis. This level of customer support is extremely beneficial, as you will have someone to ask for help whenever needed. You can have the peace of mind knowing that your site won’t suffer extended periods of downtime because of delays in contact.

VPS for Business

VPS has become very popular among business owners, more specifically small business owners. These days, if you don’t have a website, your business is going to have a bit of a nightmare trying to compete with others that do. With the majority of industries using the internet for companies in one form or another, having a professional website has never been so important.

If you want a professional website, you’re going to need to pay for web hosting, as free hosting is extremely limited, is nowhere near as efficient and lacks the support you get from a hosting provider.

Many small business owners use VPS hosting as it’s cost effective, it’s a powerful step up from shared hosting and it’s highly scalable, which is perfect for business owners whose company is growing and consistently receiving more traffic.

VPS is the ideal middle-ground for anyone who needs an upgrade from shared hosting, but doesn’t have the budget to accommodate a dedicated server. The benefits offered by VPS hosting can help your site to become a faster, more efficient and more profitable asset.

These days, a website is the most powerful business tool out there — and without utilising it to the best of your ability, you risk falling short of the competition.

Nearly every industry has been majorly affected by the internet and the abundance of companies who now use a website as their primary source of business. Today’s market is more competitive than ever before, with websites providing an effective and accessible platform to connect with customers all over the world.

So, it’s safe to say a site is a crucial aspect of running a successful company. For your site to have the desired effect and stay ahead of competitors, you need to be getting the most out of it. Let’s take a look at how this can be achieved…

1. Set Realistic Goals for Your Site

When you design (or redesign) your website, you should do so with some goals in mind. What is the purpose of your site? What are you aiming to achieve? Once you have a few goals or milestones in place, it will not only give you something to aim for, but it will also give you a sense of direction in regards to the purpose of your website and what needs to be done to achieve your goals.

From a business standpoint, having a site that’s not designed for mobile devices will hold you back, as your most successful competitors are sure to have a website that is. Once you’ve purchased web hosting you’ll have a lot more options in regards to design and customisation, which will help you to design a more efficient site for mobile.

3. It Needs to be User-Friendly

Have a quick think about some of your favourite websites; they’ll be the ones that provide the information you need in a clear, concise way. They make it a simple, straightforward task to click between pages and allow you to easily consume well-written, professional-looking content.

A site that lacks user-friendly features makes it a challenging task to find the information you were in search of in the first place, as well as making the overall experience unengaging and, well, a bit of a nightmare.

For businesses, this not only gives customers very little chance of finding the product/service you offer, but there’s even less chance of them returning to your site.

4. A Professional Design

In business, first impressions are a big deal. As soon as someone falls onto your homepage, that impression is already being made, based on what they see.

Before you think about design, you need to consider your domain name. Make it easy to remember, easy to type and keep it concise. If people are likely to misspell words or forget your over complicated site address, then you’re making your job harder than it has to be.

“Personality is more important than looks” may well be a valid argument in the dating world, but in business, a potential customer won’t take the time to read your content and take an interest in what you offer if your site looks like it was designed with minimal thought and effort.

This means that any images used need to be high-quality and sized correctly to suit the theme of your site. Any blurring, pixelation or poor-quality images will be an instant red flag for any visitors to your site, and more than likely send them on their way before they’ve even read the first sentence. Your website design needs to represent yourself as a company, so professionalism is essential.

5. Analysis is Vital for Continued Improvement

Monitoring the activity of your website or blog is an essential part of seeing what aspects are working for you, as well as tracking the areas of your site that need improving. Analysis software like Google Analytics gives you valuable information, such as how long people stay on your site, which pages they’re looking at, the type of device they use to go online and where they’re located.

All of this can be used to establish exactly who will be most interested in what you have to offer. Applying these findings into your marketing campaigns can then ensure the best results possible. This ability to market yourself on such a grand scale gives small businesses the level playing field needed to rival the big-name companies, who previously dominated the market with huge marketing budgets.

For companies competing in the modern-day market, a website is the most useful tool in their arsenal. Without one, it would be an uphill struggle to become an authority in their chosen industry. As it’s an essential asset that is often the difference between success and failure for many companies, it needs to be done right. With the potential to make your business as successful as you’d always hoped it would be, falling at the last hurdle with a terrible website would be foolish.

]]>Cloud hosting is an indication of how far modern computing has come and, for a lot of businesses, the benefits provide the answer to a lot of their problems.

The term “cloud” has become more and more familiar over the last few years, and the chances are you’re currently using at least one cloud service on your phone or computer. Storing data online or “in the cloud” means that you no longer need physical hardware to store your data and that you can potentially have an endless amount of disc space. When used for business, the advantages of cloud hosting can go a long way to improving the overall efficiency of your company.

You Can Work From Anywhere

Cloud hosting is an online-based service, so as long as you have an internet connection you can access your data. With so many small businesses and individuals working from home, the ability to work remotely is the perfect solution.

Whether your workplace is an office, a desk at home, a coffee shop, or even your own sofa, the cloud means you can connect to internet and clock in for the day with complete access to your work files.

Keep Your Data Safe

Saving your data in the cloud means that there isn’t a physical hard drive to lose, to be stolen, or to be dropped and damaged beyond repair. Losing a laptop or hard drive can be disastrous for business, especially if there isn’t a backup or if it is valuable company data.

If any of the above does happen, with cloud hosting it isn’t the end of the world because you will have instant access to the data, regardless of where your computer is or what state it’s in.

Real-Time Collaboration

Being able to access your data easily at any time, from anywhere, with ease means your employees will be able to collaborate on any projects or files in real time. All of this is much easier than having to send data back and forth through email, which is time-consuming and runs the risk of emails being missed or ending up in a spam folder.

This way of doing things will save your business lots of time and hassle spent following people up for documents, and it will increase your turnaround on projects. Moreover, when employees need to fill in forms or other documents, they can just sign in and access them via the cloud – rather than creating a paper trail of lots of printed out forms.

Being able to access cloud hosting as a pay-as-you-go service means small businesses will have access to hosting and applications without waving goodbye to their budget. This leaves you with more money to put towards other aspects of your company.

Free Software Updates

Other types of hosting require you to have hardware, but that’s not the case with cloud hosting – “out of sight out of mind”. Cloud hosting being an online based service means that you don’t have to maintain the servers yourself, and your hosting provider will take care of any software or security updates.

This gives you the peace of mind of knowing that everything is being taken care of and that your hosting service is always up-to-date. As a business, this is a massive advantage as it means that you’ll continue to stay updated without paying any extra fees.

As a business owner, it’s vital always to be looking for ways to progress and improve your company wherever possible. As an essential part of any business, your website should always be a primary concern, and your choice of hosting is an important part of it. The reasons listed above demonstrate how cloud hosting can be extremely advantageous to businesses. Whether you’re the owner of a small business or part of a larger organisation, the cloud may well be the step needed to take your website and your business to the next level.

A website is a vital part of the success of any business, especially those who don’t have the same resources as a large corporation. VPS hosting is an efficient method to make sure a company gets the most out of their site.

A virtual private server (VPS) is one of a few different hosting options available today, each with their benefits depending on your needs as a business owner. Every industry has become far more competitive due to gaining a wider audience from a website, and many businesses who are more serious about online progression have made the switch from shared hosting to VPS. Here are a few reasons why…

Increased Speed

The amount of time your site takes to load up can have a massive effect on its overall success. If your homepage or other pages take too long to load, then it’s likely that someone isn’t going to hang around and wait. If they do, then it doesn’t give them much incentive to visit again.

VPS hosting can give you faster performance, which is especially beneficial for small businesses and startups with an online shop or blog, as it loads up quickly enough to keep your audience engaged to buy products or read content.

More Efficient Security

Your company’s security should always be a primary concern, and the digital era has introduced a whole host of new problems for companies. A lack of cyber-security can leave the data of businesses wide open for the taking.

The upgrade from shared to VPS hosting means that you’ll no longer be part of a larger server, sharing the resources with a tonne of other sites. A huge bonus is that your hosting provider will manage the security configurations needed to make sure your site is secure. It’s a process that saves you a lot of unnecessary work and, more importantly, time, which you can now spend on other aspects of your business.

Easier to Scale to Suit Your Needs

VPS hosting is not only an ideal service for the needs of a small business, but also if these requirements change, the scalability available will help you to adjust accordingly. If for any reason you need to alter your current setup (changing aspects like RAM, CPU or disc space), you can do so without any hassle and downtime.

No downtime means you don’t run the risk of losing out to your competitors, and the flexibility hands you more options to scale up or down depending on your situation.

Improved Customer Service

With so much freedom to scale your hosting to suit your needs, doing so will require more frequent contact with your provider. The VPS service includes an expert to contact for help whenever you need it. This can be a game-changer if you have no clue whatsoever when it comes to hosting, allowing you to let the expert take care of any issues whilst you concentrate on running the rest of your business.

Any problems that occur can be dealt with swiftly, avoiding the stress of having website issues. If your business relies on its website to run efficiently and quickly, having the ability to fix any problems in incredibly quick and accurate fashion will prevent you losing customers, interest and profit.

For small businesses and startups, it’s crucial to look for the most efficient means of promoting yourself, and you won’t find a better way of doing so than your website. As a company, you should be looking to refine your site wherever possible, getting the best service for your money. VPS hosting is an inexpensive way of taking your website to the next level, giving you the platform to rival the biggest names in your industry.

]]>These days most companies are active on social media, but many of them lack the content to attract new customers. This is where a WordPress blog will save the day.

Blogging is in no way a new concept, but many business owners have been slow off the mark and are yet to recognise the benefits it can have for their company. If you’re one of these people, then it’s time to wake up, and realise that a blog is an essential to compete in the modern market.

More Traffic to Your Website

Getting more people checking out your web site should always be your first objective when it comes to your online activity. The more traffic you get to your site, the more customers you can attract. An integral part of getting more traffic is producing the right content for your target market.

Digital Marketing on a Grander Scale

Sharing content on social networks is one of the best forms of marketing you can do and is an incredible resource for companies who lack the budget for advertising campaigns.

Popular sites like Facebook have well over a billion active users, and with so many people online every day the potential for getting new leads has never been greater.

Confirming Your Image as an Industry Expert

By sharing blog posts on a range of industry-based topics, it shows customers that you’re an expert in your field. This enables potential customers to trust in your business’s product or service, as well as in yourself as the owner of the company.

Doing your research is key to keeping an eye on what topics are the trend, and by producing content that will appeal to a similar audience will help to get it shared on a wider scale.

Establish Yourself as a Brand

Brand image is vital in today’s extremely competitive market. If you want to succeed then brand image, and building a loyal customer base is crucial. Producing high-quality content on a regular basis will set the standard for your company, and more importantly, it will set you apart from your competitors.

Your blog is the perfect platform to show some personality and the ideology of your company as a whole. Branding is more important now than it ever has been before, and blogging on social networks will go a long way to establishing your business brand.

Both blogging and social networks have completely changed the world of business, and companies that fail to recognise the benefits the two can bring will find themselves falling short of the competition.

Sites like Facebook and Twitter have provided the platform for business owners to reach a wider audience than ever before, and sharing blog content with this massive audience is what will solidify a company in the digital era.

Small businesses now have more potential than ever with the ability to attract such a huge amount of customers on a global scale, with no need for big budget advertising campaigns they can no spend the money on other crucial areas of their business.

We have a variety of web services and wordpress hosting solutions to make sure your business can reach its full potential. If you have any questions or queries, don’t hesitate to contact us.

]]>Finding a WordPress hosting provider may not be as easy as it looks! Sure you can choose pretty much any web hosting company that offers PHP and MySQL to get your WordPress site online but behind the scenes there is so much more that you should care about!

As a hosting company we know WordPress is king! Everyone wants to use it as it’s so diverse and flexible that it covers almost everyone’s needs.

We love WordPress so much, that we believe hosting WordPress with us would give your blog faster performance which can also help your Google rankings. We’ve listed 10 reason below why you should have WordPress hosting with Cyber Host Pro.

1 – OptimumCache

If a website hosting company has a large number of WordPress installations on a server, if 50 of them have active website visitors then in the background on the server there are 50 x index.php files being processed by the web server! Every WordPress pretty much has the same index.php file content, and your unique content comes from your pages, posts & themes.

Here at Cyber Host Pro we wanted to try to optimize this as much as possible, we’ve now come up with a solution by introducing OptimumCache which is a brand new technology.

Now on our servers the OptimumCache technology will load just one index.php for that version of wordpress in the background on our server that will cover all WordPress installations! This takes the load of our server down by 10-20x which in result makes your WordPress website load quicker.

A visual example of this is:

2 – Technical Support

One of Cyber Host Pro’s promises we’ve always kept is our promise for excellent technical support. Our hosting heroes are here to help you with any help or support you need with your web hosting, no matter how small of an issue from setting up an email address all the way to advanced configuration of WordPress, our team are always happy to help via live chat and 24 hour online ticket submission support system. Live chats are typically answered within 5 seconds of you clicking the chat icon! We too try to answer tickets in under 30 minutes! Our amazing technical support is one reason why our customers love us! Read more on TrustPilot

3 – Image Optimization Ready

We recommend every single WordPress user installs the plugin Imagify on their WordPress websites, our Linux servers are optimized for Imagify plugin, it will optimize all of your images which will make your WordPress much faster loading on all browsers, resulting in better website performance which can really help your search engine rankings! Imagify will scan all your current images and shrink their file sizes, it will also automatically optimize all images as you upload them to blog posts!

4 – Content Delivery Network (CDN) / CloudFlare

All our website hosting packages come with FREE CloudFlare integration, a CDN will cache your website static content on other servers around the world which will host bulky items such as images and CSS away from our server resulting in faster load time of your website which in return can help your search engine rankings! Its really easy to get CloudFlare enabled! Simply login to your cPanel and click the CloudFlare icon, enter your email address and away you go!

5 – CageFS

CageFS is a secure file system, each cPanel user will have their own mini virtual operating system on our servers, this will give the user access to their own files and folders only. By hosting your WordPress blog with us, if another WordPress on our server is not updated or has a security hole in a plugin/theme resulting in that site being hacked, the hacker will not be able to use hacking tools to scan for other WordPress users on our server to then hack your WordPress blog! CageFS also stops hackers from being able to view any server configuration to try to exploit our servers giving you piece of mind your WordPress is being hosted by a UK hosting provider who care about your security.

6 – Auto Upgrade

Our auto-upgrade tool can automatically upgrade your WordPress, plugins and themes when available! This gives you piece of mind that your WordPress website is regularly updated without you needing to login to upgrade your plugins and themes, this is ideal for those who do not regularly login to their WordPress wp-admin or do not know how to perform updates to the installation, plugins or themes.

To enable auto-upgrade login to Cpanel, scroll down and click the WordPress logo under Softaculous. If your WordPress website is not already in the list click Import (top right menu tab) Once you see your website in the list click the pencil icon to “edit” and tick the option “Auto Upgrade”

7 – WordPress Optimized Web & Database Servers

Cyber Host Pro love WordPress, we’ve optimized our servers to their best possible performance for all CMSs, all websites by default come with PHP 5.6 (with free options to downgrade/upgrade) and OPCache which helps the performance of PHP. We’ve also introduced ls_php modules (LiteSpeed) recently, this makes PHP based websites like WordPress much faster, installing LS_PHP also enhanced the OptimumCache (from reason number 1 above).

Our customers do not need to do anything to activate any of these features, these are automatically enabled and running in the background for all websites hosted on our Website Hosting service. Our servers also support mod_deflate which compresses your content and makes your website faster, so make sure you click “Optimize Website” in Cpanel and click compress all content to further enhance your performance! We’ve also replaced MySQL with MariaDB which gives your website much faster reading and writing access to your WordPress database.

8 – Comodo Web Application Firewall

Our Website Hosting comes with a web application firewall that monitors applications including wordpress for unusual activity. Our supplier, Comodo, pushes updates to our system every 30 minutes with the latest threats and automatically block known intrusions to your WordPress website.

If a hacker comes to your website and tries to do a known hack or SQL injection this will automatically be blocked by the Comodo web firewall. The Comodo firewall is free of charge and enabled by default to all of our Website Hosting customers.

9 – High Spec Servers

All of our Website Hosting servers are high spec Dell servers 2015/16 models. Each Server has Dual Intel 8 core processors giving maximum CPU power and around 128-256GB Ram Each! Plus all of our website hosting is now powered by Enterprise level SSD disks giving you the fastest Disk performance available!

10 – Free Backup & Recovery

Once a day we take full backup of our website hosting servers, these backups are held in a separate server in the same data centre connected on a super-fast connection for quick backup and recovery. If you ever need a restore the process is very easy, simply login to cPanel, click the icon “R1Soft” and choose a date to recover back to! It’s easy to use and you can choose what to restore and what date to restore back too, for example you can restore just 1 file or folder back to a version from 5 days or 7 days ago! You can easily recover a database the same way too! This is included at no extra cost with your website hosting plan.

Hello,

I decided to write this blog post as our customer service centre had received numerous sales enquiries today after the huge error over at 123Reg!

On the 16th April 2016 UK host 123reg had accidentally deleted all of their clients VPS servers by running a script that deleted all of their data! While I understand mistakes can happen, this is a huge error at 123-reg, more information can be found here http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/04/18/123reg_titsup_customer_vpss_gone/ and no doubt someone in 123-reg will be getting fired today!

When choosing a provider, its important that you look for quality and not who can give you the best possible price while I know my company Cyber Host Pro are not the cheapest for VPS, I know we are charging far less than we should be for the investment and quality that we have invested in to our service.

From my research online, it seems 123REG use Virtuozzo/OpenVZ.
Virtuozzo is a VPS server software application to allow a hosting company to create and resell VPS servers using a technology known as “containers”

Containers are not real VPS servers and piggyback on the back of the host server! Their is some benefits of containers for the host

– low cost deployment
– can be hosted on a single server
– no expensive network equipment needed
– host hundreds of VPSs on a single server

this is great for smaller hosts who are wanting to get in to the VPS resale market and do not have budget for high quality technology, a host like 123REG really should be using quality over quantity!

A container host using virtuozzo would typically be low cost as the host only have the virtuozzo license fee to pay which I believe is around $1-$2 per VM per month, a host like 123REG probably got this even cheaper!

Compare this to our setup, we use a multi-server cloud based platform and was rather expensive, the total costs of setup in year 1 was around £150,000 compared however look at our setup:

We have multiple HV servers (hyper-visors) that connect to our 10Gbit SFP+ crazy fast storage network. Each HV has access to both of our SANs (Storage attached network) that store the content of your VPS DATA. Each SAN replicates data to each other so your physical data is stored on 2 SAN servers at once. The network switch itself cost £15,000 something that would not be including in a budget virtuozzo hosting company! Next, we use many Samsung Enterprise SSD 1.92TB Each costing around £800 compared to a budget Virtuozzo host who may just use multiple 1TB/2TB disks costing around £20-£40 each.. which would not give a fraction of the performance of the disks we use, which we believe are the fastest available in the world

There is allot more in our setup like multiple backup servers.. the setup is quite complicated and certainly designed for the Enterprise customer!

We may not be as cheap at the likes of 123-REG, but as you can see from above we invest in the best technology to give our cloud VPS customers the best quality of service.

Ask yourself this question.. “what is your data worth to your business?” is it worth more than £1 a day? if so, then Cyber Host Pro will be a better hosting company for you!

They will recommend your VPS resellerservice to others which will get you more customers. In the process, you end up making higher scales bringing about better revenues.

Focusing on customer satisfaction is extremely important to have them use your service for a longer time. You need to make it a point to answer their queries asked on your website or anywhere on the internet. They should feel that you acknowledge their doubts and value the customers. This will help build a good amount of trust on your brand. Building better relationships will help build a good network which is bound to bring about higher business.

]]>With the number of businesses rising every passing day I wanted to have my own unique website that would cater to a niche audience. However, I had a different approach to going about this. I really did not have much money to spend, but had the desired knowledge and the expertise of building my own website. It did not involve any complication of communicating with the website company, their team and so on. All I had to do was simply purchase a building package and get started. Once I finished with that, I was offered a discounted price on UK website hostingthat saved me more money. It seemed to be a good start for my business as I had already got the logo and other images ready along with the content.

A friend of mine was an expert with social media marketing and did a pretty good job with it, which gave me a good start. Soon I could see revenue flowing in and decided to set up a secure payment getaway that would take care of this. As the traffic increased with time, my website still functioned pretty well and I decided to add reseller hosting services to it. Some companies online offered services at affordable rates I spent time researching and approached the best and friendly ones.

This increased my yearly revenues and I did not have to do much as the companies themselves provided all the tools and even customer support. I just had to be like a middle man and take care of my clients. Sometimes when I sit back and wonder to myself I realize that, hard work, patience and dedication can be of great help. All you have to do is work smartly and have faith in whatever you do. As I was aware that reseller hosting packages are cheaper, people would definitely buy them. They even offer all the same features at a price that allows clients to save a lot of money.

Soon as my business increased and money started flowing in at a quicker rate than I expected I decided to broaden my spectrum. Before that I had to move to windows hosting. As I moved on to a larger package I could see the immediate performance boost. It made my work even better and offered better facilities. My business had my own unique customer care number that I could be contact on whenever I was in need. I purchased all these from the same website, which offered discounted rates. Even you should look out for such services if you are in need.

While choosing a service provider can be a cunning task do keep in mind your needs and stick to them. If you are unclear of the services that you need, it creates a lot of confusion and sometimes you land up purchasing unwanted services and paying more. For instant results, you can always look for those that even provide search engine optimization and marketing plans. This will allow you to save a lot of money and provide instant results.

]]>Running an effective business is indeed not an easy task. Especially, today when the internet dependency has increased to such a great extent, competition between varied businesses has also risen. This creates a huge problem as it is very difficult to gain a lead in the competition. When I started my business, I created a website to stay connected with set of audiences and promote my products and services. As I had a small business, I preferred to get it hosted from a shared server. Eventually my business was growing but at a later stage, I started facing problems with my website. I am glad that I caught hold of the best services for website hosting at the right time.

Basically, I was severely trapped with problems running my website which had often crashed and the inner pages took a lot of time to load. The continuously decreasing memory on the hard disk took a lot of time for me to upload new content and files on the site. I also had to frequently delete the older files to clear space for new ones. These problems directly affected the traffic on my website which eventually decreased my sales and production. I was completely confused about what steps needed to be taken to increase my sales.

I spoke to some of the best experts of website hosting industry. They analyzed my entire website and the type of my business. After conducting a complete search, the experts suggested opting for UK VPS servers. This was a cheaper option than that of the shared servers. In this, one physical server was able to control several other servers, each with its own operating systems. This server gave me a complete control over the server environment.

Along with this, I was also able to experience a lot of benefits without spending much of my money. The package provided by the experts included unlimited bandwidth, RAM and disk space with an option of Windows and Linux operating system. It included 1GBit uplink and also offered monthly or yearly payment methods which seemed to be convenient enough. The additional support included in the packages was Windows, CPanel, Cloud Linux and Plesk. The advantage was that this server also came with auto healing technology that detected any kind of problem with the server and automatically reboots it into a hardware node. This worked as a safeguard for all my files and data featured on the site.

With such great services, I was now able to experience heavy traffic on my website and this was all possible with the extremely effective and supportive service providers. Apart from the servers the expert professionals also introduced me to the UK reseller hosting. Acknowledging its details, I found that this offer was suitable for people who would like to earn extra income without much effort. I could buy a server space from the hosting company and then sell it to my customers at my own price range. All the tools and technical support system was provided to me that helped me throughout the process. With excellent support system, I was able to experience remarkable business growth and with lots of revenue.

]]> “Sir, the server has crashed yet again”. The sheer disappointment was impossible to take. This was probably the fifth time the server had decided to go the rebellious way. The frustration overpowered to an extent that I went for a switch. After all, the world of cloud hosting is vast and will definitely endow me with a package that had substantial resources.
While Dedicated, Domain, Cloud and Joomla hosting were among the top 4, the Windows one seemed more promising. Here is a list explaining my inclination towards this avant-garde system:

I took great pride in building my site with .NET framework. However, I failed to understand its disliking towards the Linux server. All thanks to the article and their salient points. One of them made me realise that a Windows platform is the only one to support the visual basic structure.

If at all there would have been a ceremony rewarding the most efficient web administration tool, Microsoft Front Page would have won the most accolades. The WYSIWYG HTML editor helped me a lot in terms of codes and templates. The only problem was resorting to server supports and extensions time and again.

The disquisition was expounded upon on how this platform would make me get rid of the above nuisance.

For people reading this piece, are you highly accustomed to Windows operating system? Well, then even you should be taking the Windows server route. Reason being you would be saved with the efforts of learning a new language for website maintenance.

The desire of having Active Server Pages (ASP) on board was long present. Never did I know that this factor required a dynamically database driven website. I felt glad though to have come across the deal Windows Hostinghad signed with this scripting language.

Consider taking a vote to know which the greatest database management system is. There is no doubt that you will have to declare Microsoft Access as the ultimate winner. The article explained as to how this server supports the seamless integration of database.

My assistants believed in using Visual Interdev for the development of web applications. I decided to take an immediate measure by walking the Windows trail.

While many might make that ignorant face after hearing Microsoft Exchange Server, there is a certain percentage which will do otherwise. Allowing businesses to streamline on the employees’ communication, it functions well if combined with Windows system. Not to forget, the scalable hosting system also comes in handy.

Entrepreneurs keen on having PHP and my SQL on board, select this server for compatibility.

The Raw Log Manager, Password Protected Directories, Web Based File Manager, and Scheduled Tasks adorn the ‘Powerful Admin Tools’ wall quite gracefully. The Unlimited Sub Domains, FTP Accounts, and Email Accounts also make a good team. The mention of 99.9% Uptime Guarantee did the knowledge enhancement task as well.

]]>As a photography-blog owner, having my own site and managing it was quite a goal. My blog was hosted on an application host. However, the popularity and visitors it had gained meant it needed more. The site was seemingly becoming slower and the plans on my current host just were not enough.

I needed a website hosting service that offered more. More space, more speed and more power. My photography business could just take off and I could not afford a sluggish website. This is when I decided I needed to move to a new host. There definitely were tons of options in the market. Yet, choosing one was a daunting task. This is when my friend recommended a particular hosting company and I decided to check it out.

The UK based company had dedicated servers based in Manchester itself. With round the clock security and securely placed servers, the service seemed first rate. Not only that, it used top of the range hardware to provide hosting services. I could see a wide range of packages that could fit any budget. The service boasted of having the latest Linux servers and supported applications like WordPress and Joomla. An impressive thing about the service was that it promised zero loss of data. The service backed up their servers daily and offered to upgrade without any downtime. It also came without locking down the customer in contracts.

I was especially looking to rent the dedicated servers for my website’s growing needs. It meant that the visitor experience on the site would be smooth, fast and super rich. I was looking to go all out with the design and wanted a server which was not sloppy in the least. One great highlight of the service was that one need not contact the company to get their servers rebooted. It could be done remotely through the control panel. Additionally, it offered a round the clock technical assistance which meant any issues could be addressed instantly. The general server support however came for free and even fully managed servers could be availed of if needed. The 1Gbit uplink for access to their superfast network made the deal for me. As they used the latest 12th generation hardware from Dell, it was quite tough not to imagine the quality promised.

I decided to compare other services and was delighted to know I was getting the best deal here. No other service came as near to this one when it came to offering similar features. Others that offered similar packages were way too expensive for my budget. I spoke to the representatives and discussed my requirements. After being satisfied with what I was being offered I went straight for the payment. After over a month of use I can safely say the company truly delivers what it promises. The UK Dedicated serversare super fast and very simple to manage. I am glad I made a shift and it was to this company. I highly recommend them to all website owners out there.

While selling products, one should always think from the customer’s point of view. Consumer behaviour and preferences have been under study for decades now, with businesses trying to unlock the mysterious key of successful marketing. In other words, keeping your clients happy should be your primary goal for which you should be ready to go out of the way. Resourcefulness is the first principle you should follow once you are into it.

Cloud Hosting businesses for instance are really hard to get on unless you have an excellent provider watching your back at all times. Everything else takes a backseat provided you have top notch resources to boast about.

Speaking of cloud hosting, there has been an upsurge of start-ups as well as proficient establishments that prefer running their UK servers through cloud storage facility. This allows them to log in to their system anytime from practically anywhere. This explains why there can be no excuse for providing services to clients these days. Corporate life has become ‘pseudo military’, thanks to outsourcing and round the clock data operations.

Overseas clients hardly ever heed the time difference and expect processes any time they want. Public holidays count for their own purpose while the outsourced mediums toil to get the work done.
Businesses however, choose for such a lifestyle and aim at engineering greater profits through round the clock support. Assuring the clients with ‘anytime service’ can be both a blessing and a curse. The blessing lies in your expansive capability of catering to multiple processes at once and the curse lies in the fact that you must be up and moving on your toes at all times.

Cloud VPS resellerenables a string of benefits. Businesses opting for Linux servers can boast of a highly stable operating system. Admin tools like PHP and MySQL are excellent options to go along with Linux OS. PHP scripts are quite popular, with restaurants, travel agencies, and supermarket stores making use of its tools to customize and manage their database. The management part is hardly an issue. If non-technical persons like me can handle inventory through these, anybody can! These applications are major cost cutting implementations, for you do not require a technical person to manage these admin tools.

What is really important is high uptime, for this greatly determines the performance of the website. With Linux OS, your server is almost never bound to crash. Hosting services come really cheap so you can greatly benefit from cost effectiveness and maximum uptime. With a virtually invincible hosting platform, you can easily implement top notch online marketing services for your business and bring about premium visibility and traffic for your website.
If part of the resources still remain towards the end of the month, try reselling them to a third party business. This could be an excellent way of establishing a cordial relationship with rival businesses. I believe that more than anything, the way you network with your clients and competitors matters the most. If you are able to establish a marketing niche for yourself, there is no stopping to achieve a pioneering position in the relevant marketing segment.

Making your website accessible on the internet is very easy today with so many professional UK hosting services available. All you have to do is check for different providers online and opt for the best package.
They usually offer dedicated and VPS hosting. This is offered in the form of different packages that vary with the web space, bandwidth and so on. All these packages are useful as far as you opt for the one that is required for your website.

I have been a musician since quite a few years now. I am into composing music and am always on the lookout for vocalists and instrumentalists. Even though it is not difficult to find musicians today, it is always better to keep looking for fresh voices especially when it comes to singers. I have a good network but like to look for new singers. Also, I keep making audios and videos of songs that I compose. My main idea was to promote them rapidly on the internet. For this, I first needed a page of my own.

It is very easy to create a web page today with websites available online that help you design and host a page or a website of your own. They help you get domain names cheaply on the internet and register your page with that name. I had a good budget in hand and so did not want to compromise in any way on the process. Just hosting a simple page is not enough to keep up with the tough competition. After checking online, I came across a professional service that offers UK dedicated servers hosting. They are provided in the form of packages that vary with the bandwidth and web space.

In dedicated hosting, one physical server is assigned to every system. This provides better performance of the server bringing about proper functioning of the website. You will get good reliability and security as there is no other system to share the resources. For my website, I needed to upload many videos and audios for which I needed good web space and bandwidth. I made use of the dedicated hosting and got the web page hosted by a reputed provider. Since then I have never seen any issues with the loading of the videos or audio.

Even if the number of visitors on the website is more, it does not affect the functioning or loading of the website. This has made it very beneficial for me as I am able to offer the best to all my visitors which keep them glued to my page for a longer time. Along with this, I thought I would make some extra money by offering it as a reseller package. I opted for a reseller hosting package offered by my hosting provider. I bought space in bulk and sold it to a few of my clients. The provider offers all the technical backing required for the hosting. This helps me earn a good amount of money without having to invest too much time or efforts.
